What not to Say at Interviews- Be Circumspect with Information.

We interviewed a guy for a role, he was suitable, qualifications and experience good enough. Remuneration fantastic and expected quality of life would improve significantly after a loss of job for over 2 years.

One of only two candidates as it was an urgent need and recruitment process was less than 72 hours.

When the interview was about to be rounded off, we asked where he stayed to attend the interview, because he came upcountry, usually we could reimburse his expenses. His response was the snag; he started a long story, how he stayed in his friend’s house, who was out of town. The wife of his friend asked one of the children to vacate a room for him. At the middle of the night, the wife came over, requesting to sleep in the same room with him. According to him, he refused vehemently, saying he wouldn’t do such a thing.

We all looked at each other in bewilderment and shock, and that was it, we dropped his candidacy.

We concluded our trade secrets are not safe with this one, he can’t be trusted, he is not prudent with words and may have other character deficiencies.

When you go for any interview, a job or visa application, only respond to questions you are asked, never try to impress your interviewer with irrelevant information, it could end up determining your chances.

What do you think happened afterwards? He lost that job opportunity to “misyarn”.

👉🏽Be careful with information.
👉🏽Don’t lose guard of your environment.

Things are looking good now bro
Believe me I wanted to go ahead with the marriage, the parent arranged and flew her to the UK

Quiet-quitting.

Quiet-quitters have largely been discussed within the context of the workplace in the last year or so. However, there is a universe that we have observed at a more macro level in recent times.

Life’s happening to us all in many dimensions and the local plus global indicators of anxiety are many. Life’s really giving us all knocks on all sides: financial anxiety, burnout, quest for purpose, workplace mental health etc.

We win in some instance and we lose in others. However, our failure should be a sign of strength; we dared to try. If we have tried before and failed, we are clearly no longer on ground zero.

Rather than quiet-quit on life, we quietly must try again. Give that goal another shot. We miss 💯 of the shots we fail to take.

When your pole breaks, find a new one and give it another shot.

Don’t quit on life and life won’t quit on you.

Thank God it’s Monday! Time to try again.

She's the only child and her parent was on her case to get married at that time, I just finished service then and I wasn't financially balanced then, the parent arranged for her to travel out, and before u know she's married to a white guy, omo, e really weak me, but she was telling me everything as things unfolded, I couldn't do much

sukkot:
i think it’s reasonably priced for lekki

ogmask:
Yeah, I get what you can but I think 60 days is too long time for a president to put his cabinet together. 4wks max is enough for any serious person to hit the road running. If not his entire cabinet he should be able to get the very sensitive positions occupied, the stress in our electoral process notwithstanding.

It’s the honest to God truth! I’ve been on-call the whole of this Memorial Day weekend with commensurate pay for my time. It’s called work not “charity”. All these silly Nigerian employers be emotionally blackmailing employees to get free labour

INDUSTRIALFAN:
omo I don taya to type plenty. Just know this,
1. I am no longer on the £1k per month job as it was a job I had to do to find my bearing immediately I got here and that lasted just 3 months.
2. In those 3 months, I was able to sort out all my expenses and send more than I ever could to my folks who at one point or the other needed help when in Nigeria on 230k per month.
3. I have my peace of mind and sanity in a country that works.
If you want to remain stagnant in one job that pays less than £300 a month, that’s fine so long as you’re content.
I started from £1k working less than 4hrs a day and I’ve gone up to another better job that pays over £2,500 a month with my expenses still being dsame meaning I now save over 1k per month. Whether in nige or in the UK, that is doing well financially. Thankfully, I don’t have family members that weigh me down.

Exactly, I dated one calabar babe, this girl would always make 3 different kind of soup whenever she comes around especially during the weekend, her vegetable soup game is A+, white soup, top notch, okazi soup, very tasty and will store all of them in the freezer, omo forgerit calabar babes way their eye dey ground can cook 🥺, shes well mannered, she will give u good food and even better sex, what else can a guy ask of ?

Couldn't marry her as I wasn't financially stable then, babe traveled out and got married to a white man, still miss her uptill today, such a sweet soul, we still in contact though

Folixx buka worse pass hilda own sef...
All of them for that lekki na packaging.

I ate from a yoruba woman that sells under an umbrella, funny enough her's taste better than all those hilda and folixx. They just use AC full person eyes..

sukkot:
tasted sickly like it was badly put together concoction with a hint of sugar too . It's like what a bunch of university students will prepare in their dorm. Just straight up weird tasting trash . Oh ermm nah I ain't no food critic oo lmaoooo

sukkot:
So I went to see my gurl Hilda Baci to see what she got cooking. had to empty the bank akant just to bring yall this content. the place is alright, the AC is very strong, its small and cute.

The food prices? A bit on the high side for like swallow eaters like soup starts from 5000 naira. Just the soup alone without the meat and swallow. the rice i bought is 1500, the fish 2000 and malt is 400 for a total of 3900 naira. the food was straight up garbage. TAsted horrible. I could only stomach half of it till i abandoned the rest. I give it a solid 3 out of 10.

The positives are the AC is very cold and the malt was very cold. would i go back ? nope
